[4animals] Tell your MP to vote for Bill LC-373 to strengthen the animal cruelty provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada

[Edelweiss D'Andrea]

The Ontario Humane Society (OHS) is applauding proposed new legislation that
will update and strengthen the animal cruelty provisions of the Criminal
Code of Canada.

Bill C-373 will protect wildlife and strays from cruelty and abuse — an
important addition as the current law does not adequately protect these
animals. Ontario MP Mark Holland’s proposal removes animal cruelty crimes
from the property section of the Criminal Code, and will make it easier to
prosecute those who neglect their animals to the extreme.

The OHS urges concerned animal lovers to contact their MP and voice support
for this Bill.
